One down, two to go.

Four-star forward Alonzo Gaffney, who was the first addition to Ohio State's 2019 class in April, became the first player to sign his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period. He makes up 1/3 of a top-10 class in the nation.



Four-star forward E.J. Liddell is expected to sign his National Letter of Intent on Thursday, and five-star point guard D.J. Carton should ink his signature on Monday. They will make up what is expected to be Chris Holtmann's first top-10 recruiting class as a coach, and will be the top class in the Big Ten.

Holtmann quote
“We are very excited about Alonzo,” Holtmann said in a statement. “He is someone we targeted as soon as we were hired. He has come from great programs in Ohio as well as his current program, Brewster Academy. He was the first player to commit to us for the 2019 class last spring. Alonzo has athleticism, skill and tremendous measurables. He has a very bright future. We look forward to developing him and we know Buckeye Nation will enjoy watching him play next fall. We are excited to officially welcome Alonzo and his family to the Ohio State Basketball family.”

ALONZO GAFFNEY- BREWSTER ACADEMY, NEW HAMPSHIRE (VIA CLEVELAND)
The one native Ohioan that the Buckeyes signed, Gaffney is an athletic forward who will thrive as a scorer at Ohio State. He is currently rated as the #42 overall player in the 2019 class.

So far this season, Gaffney is averaging 12 points and eight rebounds a game for the elite prep school. While those stats may not jump out on the surface, it should be noted that playing prep ball is very different from playing public school ball in that Gaffney's minutes are probably slightly affected by the fact that Brewster has a deep roster.

Gaffney is another player who will bring scoring to a unit that desperately needs it. With his athleticism and length, Gaffney could be the type of player who is a one-and-done if he can pack on some more strength and weight, as he has the prototypical NBA athleticism.
